Historias de la Coca (Khoka Project)

$ 450,000 COP

Historias de la Coca is the editorial component of an ecosystem that integrates art, science, and ancestral knowledge to restore the “sacred leaf” to its place as a core element of Andean and Amazonian culture. Based on more than a decade of research led by Susana Mejía, the book documents the plant’s trajectory from its earliest archaeological traces 8,000 years ago to its contemporary challenges. The work is the result of a sui generis methodology that included the cultivation, care, and direct study of the four coca varieties described by Timothy Plowman. Across 348 pages, the book translates ten years of artistic experimentation, transdisciplinary dialogues, and an iconographic curation of global archives that honor the plant’s spirituality and resilience.

It also includes texts by Wade Davis, Anthony Henman, Paul Gootenberg, Timothy Plowman, Dawson White, Orlando Adolfo Jara, and Daniel Montoya, among others.

Reader Testimonials

This book transformed my perception of colors.

“Color Amazonia is not a catalog of pigments, it is a living archive of the jungle. It leaves room for one to think from a place of wonder.”

“It’s one of the most powerful books I’ve ever held in my hands. The edition is impeccable, but the most powerful thing is the story behind the plants.”

“Color Amazonia changed my understanding of color. It’s a book that not only inspires color palettes, but also raises questions: Where do colors come from? Who produces them? What knowledge lies behind them?”
